It is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to keep it. Especially since Xiao Li is a woman, the difficulties and obstacles are unimaginable.
However, Xiao Li didn't worry about these things. This was the purpose of the Talented Scholars Banquet she had held before.
The first group of five people, including Tang Shuyu, have already figured out the rules of how officialdom works. The second group of talents recruited are familiar with the experiences gained by the first five people with great effort. The third group is serious and obedient, and has efficient execution capabilities.
Song Junzhan acted as the prime minister to lead all the talents and implement the system formulated by Xiao Li accurately and forcefully. This group of people had long since broken away from the inherent ideas of being an official in this world, and were instead training talents for the officialdom.
Teach students in accordance with their aptitude, with clear division of labor, to maximize everyone's strengths.
It's like a large piece of equipment that has been polished and equipped, just waiting to be moved to a fixed location and started up.
There are some shortcomings that need to be adjusted and modified, but the general direction is correct.
Of course, these people are definitely not enough to support the operation of the country, so it is necessary to screen from the old officials, keep those who can be used, and eliminate those who cannot.
Those who should leave should leave, and those who should be killed should be killed.
To put it bluntly, Xiao Li treats the country as a company, and now she is moving into a newly acquired enterprise with a new team.
The new team took over the company, laid off the old company's senior and junior employees, and screened and hired them.
Because the plan had already been formulated, Xiao Li didn't need to worry about it at all. Song Junzhan and the team would just have to execute it.
Xiao Li doesn't have to worry about whether he can succeed. Song Junzhan and others are very young. The most important thing is that they are full of ambitions and resentment towards being suppressed by the aristocratic families.
Hatred, ambition, blood, passion.
With the support of these emotions, they can create unlimited possibilities as long as they are given a chance.
Xiao Li gave them opportunities, gave them confidence, and became their unshakable spiritual pillar.
They probably wouldn't come to Xiao Li when they encountered difficulties, but would try every possible way and do their best to complete it.
Because they want to prove to Xiao Li that they will not let her down.
Xiao Li doesn't need to worry about the civil officials, let alone the military generals.
Yang Jun took over the Imperial Guards, Adjutant Liu Dong and Rong Qing's eldest apprentice Wu Lie took over the Military Affairs Department, and Rong Qing's other two apprentices Zhang Youli and Tian Sheng took over the Patrol Battalion.
Rong Qing, along with half of the Silver Armor Guards, took Xiao Li's handwritten letter from the Empress and visited the aristocratic families one by one.
Those who accepted the imperial edict were required to kneel down and submit; those who refused were killed and their property confiscated.
Of course, this method is indeed brutal and bloody, so resentment is inevitable.
For a time, the empress's reputation for cruelty spread widely, and people said that she was brutal, ruthless, violent, and tyrannical.
But these aristocratic families had long had enough of their extravagant and licentious lives. For example, the previous Marquis Xuanping was clearly a family of military generals, but he and his son, one was fat and big-eared, and the other was addicted to alcohol and sex. Neither of them looked like they could lift a sword.
Now that they were being attacked, they could only curse verbally, and very few of them had the power to resist.
The original court was controlled by the aristocracy and a group of old men. It had long been corrupt, dirty and dark. Now it is a process of getting rid of the corruption and bringing in new things to revitalize it.
It will definitely hurt and there will definitely be a lot of blood, but that's the way the world works.
The emperor took turns to be the emperor, and the nobles also took turns to be the emperor. There is no change without bloodshed.
Civil officials and military generals don't have to worry about anything, and there are countless properties added to the national treasury.
Because the court had not yet been fully integrated and there were only a few memorials, everyone was so busy that the most idle person was Emperor Xiao Li.
------
The palace was brightly lit at night these past few days. So many people died that it took three days to clean the floor.
The silver-armored guards were standing around Xiao Li, each one standing straight, their silver armor shining coldly and looking majestic.
Xiao Li stood at the door of the Golden Palace, looking at the lights in the distance.
From this position, the view is indeed different.
There is a difference between being an emperor and being a boss. The feeling of ruling the world is a temptation that no one can refuse. Even though she still thinks this is a false world, she can't help but feel excited at this moment.
A slender figure stood silently behind Xiao Li, neither far nor near, just like he had served the emperor before. However, the difference was that he always kept his head down and never looked directly at the emperor, but now, his eyes could only hold the beautiful figure in front of him.
He knew that the princess was as capable as any other prince, and that she was both strategic and courageous, but he had never imagined that she would actually seize the throne herself.
He was still upset about not being able to go to the princess's mansion, but she walked up to him in person and became his real master.
The night wind blew by, bringing with it her teasing words with a smile: "Master Seal Master, please restrain yourself a little. Your eyes are almost staring holes into me."
Lou Yan lowered his eyes slightly, took advantage of the corner to hide from view, knelt on one knee, held her hand with one hand, and lowered his head to kiss the back of her hand.
"Your Majesty should call yourself 'Zhen'."
Xiao Li lowered his eyes and looked at him: "Isn't it just that I'm not used to it for a while?"
Lou Yan's expression was firm: "Then get used to it from now on."
Xiao Li laughed: "You are so persistent about this name, do you like it?"
"Um."
Lou Yan nodded decisively, looking at her with a charming glint in his eyes: "I like it. These past few days have been like a dream for me."
The delusional person has become his master. He can see it every day. It was only something he could think about before, but now it has become a reality. It's a little unreal.
Xiao Li pulled his hand back and gave him a light kick: "Then dream on."
Xiao Li turned around and continued looking at the distant sky.
Perhaps because he had just kissed her, Lou Yan finally took his eyes off her and followed her gaze. It was very ordinary, no different from usual.
"What is your majesty looking at?"
Xiao Li curled the corners of his lips when he heard this, and said sarcastically, "Let's see when the thunder comes."
The last time she killed Lu Chengzhi, there was thunder and heavy rain. This time, she broke into the palace and became the empress. However, the weather has been surprisingly good in the past few days, without any abnormality.
She doesn't think that God has let her off, she must be holding back a big thing.
The plot is now in a mess. Xiao Jingyu, Lu Yanzhi and Xiao Jingzhao are all in her hands. She has destroyed all the officials from the aristocratic families. Even if she gives them a chance, it will be difficult for them to turn around and become the emperor.
She wanted to see how the plot would be revised this time.
In fact, she really wanted to kill Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Jingzhao to see if there would be any changes, but she was also afraid that something would happen to her and the group of people she led would become scattered.
She will not compromise for anyone, she must kill the person, but she will have to wait.
Her goal has never been to be a good emperor, but Song Junzhan and his team are so outstanding, and leading such a team makes her feel very accomplished.
So give them some time to stabilize the situation, it won't be long...
